After writing articles for PC News for several years now, I finally got to meet Mike Bondarenko the Publisher of the paper. We enjoyed a very nice chat near the end of the show, and the good news is, I wasn't fired. There was more good news; He will write the report for the paper. Maybe he'll pick out some of my thoughts or use a picture or two.
I like taking pictures, almost as I like collecting badges.
The young man above is Chad Harris. He has been attending shows for years, and helped me a few years ago with a nice badge from Newark. Chad works in Jacksonville which explains why he had all those badges from the UK. Naturally he won Best Badge Display.
That me, Dennis Beyer. I am showing that I still am the best dressed guy in town with my multi colored shirt and display of old Newark NJ badges
John Holmes is pictured below with his fine collection that he has been hiding from the wife, but she has now put the law down - "Get rid of some things - talk to me". That is one thing you can always do at these shows is talk to John.
Rick Amos is another man that is always at the shows. He is standing behind his fine collection of badges from California. He also had a beautiful .44 cal magnum and ID for Dirty Harry.
This fine gentlemen is Glenn Russell who was caught at a table with some interesting law enforcement items.
This fine man is Det. Doug Sarubbi. He not only attends these shows, He usually wins. This year was no different. Doug won overall Best Overall Display.
Below is Steve and Karen Bridges. They host the Titusville Show. Steve is retired from the Titusville P.D.
Sitting at his table, holding court, is Sam Goldstein, retired West Palm Beach Sheriff's Sergeant. He too is at all the Florida Shows, and this year negotiated a fine badge to add to one of my NJ displays.
This young lady is Renee Dixon. She was pictured with some of many patches she had at her table on display or for sale.
